Budget kit for BMW E30 and E36. The kit is designed for use with standard (OEM) BMW E36 steering knuckles. The steering angle adapters feature adjustable Ackermann and adjustable steering stops. The only OEM component used in the lower part of the kit is the steering rod. To reduce production costs, we have designed an adapter that connects the factory steering rod to the uniball in the steering knuckle adapter.
The maximum steering angle has been limited to 62 degrees to avoid excessive stress on the OEM components and the connection between the adapter and the steering knuckle. The tie rod end is connected to the adapter using double-flanged tapered bushings, which completely eliminate play and prevent the mounting bolts from loosening due to friction between the adapter and tie rod end surfaces — a problem often found in other manufacturers' products.
Both the lower arms and adapters are CNC-milled, which significantly reduces weight while maintaining high rigidity. Without mounting plates, the camber angle ranges from -4.5° to -5°, depending on the height of the vehicle's suspension. A lower car setting naturally results in greater negative camber.
The rear mounting of the lower arm and the arm itself are the same as in Billet PRO, ensuring easy and quick caster angle adjustment.
Below is a list of components with the weight of each item after full assembly:
The set includes:
2 aluminum steering knuckle adapters – 1.3 kg each
2 tie rod end adapters – 0.15 kg each
2 adjustable rear lower arm mounts – 0.65 kg each
2 steel lower arms – 4 kg each
1 set of Ackermann adjustment washers – 0.1 kg
1 lower reinforcement plate for lower arm mounting points – 1.35 kg
2 steering rack mounting bolts
The factory brake lines (OEM) are too short.
Apart from the improved brake lines, the kit does not require any additional parts. It can be used with both factory shock absorbers (OEM) and coilover suspension. The kit does not require repositioning of the upper shock absorber mount.
